2020 MERCEDES-BENZ GLB 250 GLB250

The auction record lists the vehicle’s condition as “Clear” and identifies “Left Front” as the primary damage area. However, Stage 1’s photo-based assessment states that the visible evidence contradicts the “Clear” condition claim and supports the “Left Front” damage code. It reports extensive collision damage concentrated at the front end, particularly the left front corner. The complete front bumper cover is detached and lying separately from the vehicle. It has fractured mounting areas, broken tabs, and separated plastic sections. On the vehicle, the front bumper cover, grille, lower fascia, and related exterior components are missing or displaced, exposing the front reinforcement, radiator and condenser area, cooling stack, inner fascia, and support structure. Both visible front headlamp assemblies are absent, leaving open lamp cavities and exposed components. The left front fender is missing, exposing inner body metal, wiring, and wheel-well components. The left front wheel-arch trim and liner are broken and incomplete, with jagged plastic sections and exposed mounting points. The left front corner also has missing bumper-related and headlamp components, with the washer-fluid reservoir and internal support visible. These findings indicate that substantial front-end parts replacement and inspection of the underlying structure, cooling system, wiring, lighting system, and mounting points will be required. The supplied findings do not establish the condition of components that are not visible. At the rear quarter panel, the fuel-filler door is missing, leaving the filler opening and its black housing exposed. Inside the cabin, a small light-colored abrasion or worn spot is visible on the front passenger seat cushion. The VIN decodes as a 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class GLB250 SUV with front-wheel drive, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 221 horsepower, and an eight-speed automated manual transmission. It is a five-seat, left-hand-drive vehicle manufactured in Mexico. NHTSA records provided for this model and year list recalls involving the emergency-call communication module, rearview-camera or multimedia-system software, LED headlamp adjustment or replacement, and the fuel rail and injectors due to a potential fuel leak. The records also include a later recall concerning the driver’s door-lock microswitch and automatic parking-brake or Auto-Park operation. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Mercedes-Benz or NHTSA before purchase, particularly because the front lighting and exposed fuel-filler area will require repair.
